Thanks tclederman . . since it's also winter, even in Texas, I think March or April will be soon enough to do the hood seal work. Masks are always warn in our out of doors activities these days . . . and beside the Corona Crap, my allergies from fall ragweed to winter cedar fever to spring pollen, keep me in a mask anytime I'm outdoors. My two allergy shots once a month help but as my wonderful allergist states "Austin is the allergy capital of Texas!"

I really appreciate all of the suggestions guys . . . and once again Stovebolters are a wealth of information and a very helpful resource!!
